I~IROPPON TRAFFICKER ARRESTED AFTER SHOOTOUT IN PUSAN
Seoul THE KOREA TIMES in English 21 Mar 80 p 8
[Text] The arrest of a"hiroppon" trafficker in a shootout at his house
_ in Pusan Wednesday afternoon was alarming proof that the producers and
puahers of the outlawed drug have become a ma~or criminal force, even
using guna for their protection.
Kill ed in the shooting were, fortunately, only two sentry doga raised by
the drug traff icker, who himaelf attempted to commit suicide with his
shotgun after resisting police for more than three hours.
However, the prosecutio in the port city of Pusan, by now the center of
. hiroppon trafficking, expects that law enforcement authorities will now
- have to be prepared for more vicious forma of resistance by the drug
pushera.
Seized in the house of Lee Hwang-sun were a Remington 1100 shotgun, an
airgun and a Japanese sword. Earlier, a similar raid on another large-
scale drug trafficker Choe Jaedo, 45, in Pusan last Feb. 29 had discovered
a pistol, ammunition and a sword in the heavily guarded houae.
The anti-drug authorities were also surprised by the growing amounts of
the drug handled by each hiroppon ring. More than 10 kilograms of hirop-
pon with a street value of some 1,000 million won was confis~ated from
Choe's house last month.
Until recently, the hiroppon business was largely a kind of "bonded pro-
_ ceasing," which means that the stimulant drug was produced in Korea with
Japanese raw materials entirely for smuggling back to Japan.
However, recent diacloaures show that there is also a growing number of
local hiroppon addicts among working youths, entertainers and even some
taxi drivers.
Yet, Japanese gangster organizations continue to be the main target of
Korean hiroppon producer�s, according to the authorities. The hir.oppon

bueinese was intrc,~duced into Korea about a decade ago by Japanese gang-
aters who posed aG tourists.
The Japanese traffickers sought willing Korean collaborators, supplying
them with such raw materials as hydrochloride ephdrine and "operation
funds" in lar~e amoun:a.
Hiroppon was first produced by the "Dainippon Pharmaceutical Company" late
in the 19th century as a stimulant drug for medical purposes. "Hiroppon"
is the Japanese pronunciation of the drug`s name "Phyllopon," a white
powder which can be taken internally or in~ected. -
The drug w'~icY~ is said to have been used on the "Kamikaze" suicide fliers _
during World War II, spread rapidly among Japanese underworld people and _
- night-time workers after the end of the war.
Severe punist~ment for hiroppon trafficking was legislated in Japan in order
to stop it and the drug pushers found Korea a convenient place for the _
production of the drug because it was still not illegal in this country.
It was not classified as a kind of narcotic, which are controlled by the
Narcotics Law. _
In August, 1970, the Habit-fonning Drug Control Law was enacted as not -
- only hiroppon but other kinds of hallucinatory and stimulant drugs had
been intxoduced into the country.
The strong ;tench produced in the course of making hiroppon forces the
illegal man~:iacturers to move their workshops from one place to another
constantZy an.? this led them to form secret organizations for mutual help.
The organizations linked up with gangsters in Japan. Sometimes, Korean
residents in Japan were tnvolved in the hiroppon business in their home
country as lynchpins.
The law on the contrul of the hab it-forming drugs was revised in March, -
1973, to require heavier punishment for offenders. Habitual smugglers of
habit-forming drugs are to be punished with death, life terms or no less
than 10 years in jail. ~
Simple possession of the drug is punished by more than one year in prison.
Smuggling, production, sale and distribution of the habit-forming drugs
are sub~ect to life terms or no less than seven years in jail.
Despite the heavy punishment pravided by the law, the hiroppon business has
continued te prosper mainly in the port city of Pusan because of lts high
_ profitability. ~
In hidden markets in Japan, hiroppon is sold for some 100 million yen
per kilogram, more than 100 times tihe Productior? cost.

_ METHODS, ORGANIZATION OF ANTIDRUG MOVEMENT DESCRIFsED ~
Sao Paulo FOLHA DE SAO PAULO in Portuguese 24 Feb 80 p 23
~Text~ A meeting held at the beginnir~g of last month amoag members of the -
Maxell Jones Therapeutic Community, a hospital specialized in the rehabil-
itatioa of drug addicts in Embu-Guacu, reaulted in the establiehment of the
Antidrug Movement (MAT), which developed a program for reatoring addicts to -
society uaing praxitherapy methods and applying, for the first time in our
country, some of the theories held by antipsychiatriat R.D. Laing.
The original idea which came out of a meeting of the community organization -
was to settle violators in exiating facilities, particularly those connected
with the church. But this would restrict the activity of any movement in
that regard, according to MAT Chairmaa Hugo de Castro Silveira, alad
foYVnerly dependeat on drugs and aow completely "cured."
Group of 22
"Some former patiente allegedly resisted that proposal, and the only plaus-
ible alternative was to create our own movement, made up of former addicts
and guided by the Maxell Jones team. Moreover, it was Sabiao Ferreira de
Farias, the hospital's clinical director, who suggested the crerttion of MAT."
The atatutes of the new organization prohibit any discussion of a religious
or political nature among the patients in order to preclude any possibility
of sectarianism~ For the momeat, there are only 22 persons who belong to
- MAT, all form~er drug users, who are lending assistance to more than 50
Maxell Jones internees, accampanying them from the time of ttaeir entrance
into the hospital until their release; ~nd even then, they try to help
them in the rehabilitation process by providing documents ar.d even employ-

Social Therapy
~ At the Maxell Jones hospital, which receives go~~ernment subsidies, one of =
the methods adopted by the clinical team of six psychologists, two clinical -
' doctors and nurses is that originated by the doctor who lends his name to
establishment. That English professional revolutionized cer~tain concepts
of therape~itic medicine by abolishing chemical products and remedies to
which the patient could become addictedo
This method, known as sociotherapy, conaists of periodic meetinga among
all patients to diacuss their problems systematically among each other
under clinical supervision. It is a kind of group therapy but only com-
bined with rrher activities and included in a treatment with a strict
- schedule ~nd definite dutias pe�rformed by the patients so that the occupa-
_ Cional therapy might suppress the desire to use drugs.
~ Suppert Lacking
Deapite the support of the hospital administration, the chairman together

_ have subsidies or help from official organizations. They have contacted
Antonio Salim Curiati, secretary of social promotion. But, until now, �
help from that ministry has been limited to guideline~ for admitting people
into Maxell Jones, which does receivQ subsidies from the state's Secretariat
of Finance.
According to MAT's chairman, this nonprofit movement was well-received by
by the secretary of social promotion but is still faced with fiaancial
problems which are limiting ita activity. "The hospital is currently
treating 52 patients; and as the Department of Social Promotion is limi~ing
the supply of guidelines, many addicts are unable to recuperate. The a11oC- ~
ment for the treatment of aach patient ia 32,000 cruzeiros per month, but
the government is not able to finance any more prolonged treatment. To
- give an idea, the minimum duration of the treatment is 6 months--hardly
enough time for the addict to be weaned from the drug." ~
Headquarters Lacking
The movement still does not have its own headquarters. Its meetings are
held in the hospital itself, on Sunday, beginaing at 1400 hours, under the
pedagogic and scientific guidance of Dr Sabino Ferreira de Farias. Accord-
= ing to its directors, MAT is curreatly being assisted only by grants from
private individuals to carry out its program of lending assistance to
_ patients during and after treatment. This is in the form of professional
courses, seminars, chats, the use of communication vehicles for its dis-
closures and the printing of technical material.
Information abo~ut MAT may be obtained at the Secretariat of Social Pramotion,
, by telephone [phone], or from its chaiz~an, Hugo Silveira, by telephoning

STM MINISTER URGES TRAFFICKERS' INCLUSION UNDER LSN
Rio de Janeiro 0 GIABO in Portuguese 3 Mar 80 p 2
~Text~ Brasilia--1�Drug traffickers should be censured w~.th maximum
severity; the way things are going, they will end up affecting our
natioaal security. Therefore, I believe it is perfectly proper for
them to be included in the new National Security Law [LSNJ,"
This is the opinion of Minister Julio de Sa Bierrenbach of the Superior
_ Military Court (STM) who, although supporting the trying of traffickers
- in the Military Court, believes the addict "ahould be a patient of the
_ Department of I~ealth and not the Department of Justice." A,s for crimes
of violence without political connotation, he thinks it is not necessary
- for them to be included in the LSN.
In ~ierreribach's opinion, the main cause of violence in the country is lack
of punishment, since, although the crimes are provided for in the peaal
code and the perpetrators should auf~er puniahment after the trial an3
sentencing, this does not always occur, _
"It is well known," he asserted, "that there are 'extramural' prisoners
- serving aeatences as wage earners taking care of the private interests
of police officials and even judges, which is regrettable. Therefore,
we see Che emergence of abominable corruptiorr, the great~st national ill,
which enters int~ everything of a criminal nature ire our Brazil."
Bierrenbach reca?1J.ed that, in many instances, the crime is known, the
criminals are iaentified "and the case is stopped for the very reason
that the police are not interested in seeing a trial held. _
"With a few uncontrolled criminalsq principally in large cities, crime
runs rampant. The police, being inadequate in number, not always well-
equipped and always running the risk of coming face to face with
= dangerous criminals, end up feigning ignorance, as it is commonly termed."

The minister spoke in favor of preventive prison--which he prefers to ca11 -
"preventive detention"--but believes that the length of time spent should
be 1lmited tu Llie minimum neceaeary. In liis opinion, if it is necessary
_ to hold the suspected prisoner more than 12 hours, the judge should be
infura:ed, for "preventive detention" can end up in injustice.
_ Being in favor of the death penalty in extreme cases and against life
imprisonment, Bierrenbach thinks that measures aimed at preventing
violence should be concentrated on minors. He believes that, if it is
poasible to avoid having the underprivileged and if children are protected
and properly brought up, violence will decreaseo Therefore, he does not
- believe in short-term solutions.

minal left his cell empty, taking with him furniture, bed olothes, a
televlsion and :.er thinga, ae if he wert ~ing to another houae, we

: bottom suitcases. He arrived in Quito by air and planned to cross Colom-
. bia to Cali or Medellin, to send the cocaine from there to the United
States.

into the courtyard on the north side, and then, making an opening in the
= chain link fence which surrounds the enclosure, they finally reached the
outside in the direction of Pascuales, where they disappeared.
An Intense Searrh
The place wh ere the prisoners fled in their escape is full of thick under~
brush, which made it impossible for the sentinel on guard to see the move- _
- menta of the fugitives.
The governor of the province, Carlos Hidalgo Va11- visited the
Penitenciaria del Litora to see how the two prisoners escaped. The spe-
cialized police services, SIC, INTERPOL and Immigration began an intense
search for the fugitives, acting under the orders of the governor.

CLAIMS 15 THOUSAND YOUTH ADDICTS IN GUADALAJARA
_ Mexico City EL SUL DE MEXICO ir~ Spani3h 19 Feb 80 p 4-F
[Text] In Guadalajara there are not less than 75,000 young peo~le who have
ueed or are now using psychotropic substances, that is drugs, especially
inhalants and marihuana.
This statement was made by Dr Alipio Gonzalez Ruiz in speaking with residente -
of the Figueroa district, lacated at the southernmost end of the city. _
Informal meetings like this one are being organized by the Civic and Economic
Improvement Board in its new program of ongoing effort to reach marginal -
- groups wi th information and motivation toward personal and social improvement.
Dr Gonzalez spoke about drug addiction and gave advice on preventing drug
dependency, explaining in detail how this problem affects all of aociety.
He said that in the Guadala~ara metropolitan area with an estimated 2.5 mil-
' lion inhabitants there are about 750,000 persans between 11 and 24 years of
age. According to the most recent studies, at least 75,OOQ young people
are drug addicts. -
Dr Gonzalez added th at of this number about 10 percent are seriously addicted -
or dependent on drugs, which means in conservative terms that from 7,500 to
11,500 young Guadala3ar~ns are gravely addicted and demonstrating criminal
behavior in various degreea.
He said that the harm done by addicts to their f amilies is quite serious,
be~inning with loss of control and alienation and progressing to assault.
_ Besides, theae persons are not making the contribution they could by working
_ in a~ob or in private homes. `
He explained also that many addicta become criminals and even steal to obtain
_ money to buy pills or marilt~uana.
Recent studies have made it clear that children and young people from broken
homes, with divorc~d or separated parenta, or from families wihich are too
lenient about the conduct of their children, are v~xlnerable to drug addiction. -
~ The meeting captured the interest of the many persons in attendance, and many _
parents posed questions about problems which were answered by Dr Gonzalez.

MAJOR TURKISPI NARCOTICS RING SRIZED
Cairo AL-AHRAM in Arabic 6 Mar 80 p 10
[TextJ Egyptian security has arrested the leader of a Turkish interna- ~
_ tional narcotics smuggling ring and four of his associates af ter they
smuggled a large quantity of raw opium, valued at a million Egyptian
pounds, concealed in a secret hiding place in a Mercedes auto. The car
_ had arrived on one of the ships coming from the port of Latakia, Syria,
and passed through customs in Alexandria. They were arrested while de1
livering the narcotics to a furnished apartment in Heliopolis yesterday
af ternoon.
~ Preliminary information received last month by the General Department -
for Combating Narcotics Smuggling from abroad indicated that the leader of
the Turkish ring, 'Izzat Akmelik, who is known internationally, was making -
arrangements with his gang to launch a new campaign against several Arab
states, including Egypt, in order to awamp them with narcotics after he
received replies from several Egyptians and Arabs encouraging him and
[offering] to facilitate the smuggling and assist him in distributing
the narcotica in the illicit markets at high prices.
- Due to the importance of this smuggler and his international actfvities
� after several security agencies abroad failed to pursue and grab him -
because of his resort to disgui~se and use of false names with forged
passports, Maj Gei? Sami 'Asad, director of the General Anti-Narcotics
Department, made precise plans to seize the ring leader and his asso-
c iates if they tried to concentrate their activities in Egypt.
_ information indicated that the leader of the smuggling ring presently li.ves -
in the t~wn of Gaziantep in Turkey which is known for the cultivation and
production of narcotics; and that he played an important role in aZl
smuggling operations which succeeded in several European states during

_ of the activities of the ring leader and his associates abroad and the -
observation of all movements in anticipation of surreptitious entry
~ into Egypt. Ma~ Gen Mamduh Salim, assistar_t director of narcotics,
superviaed receipt of the information and the direct~on of the various _
ag~cies. -
Reports under the supervision of operations director Col Muhammad 'Abbas
and inspector Col Mustafa al-Kashif, confirmed that the leader of the
Turkish ring desired to move alone and direct the narcotics smuggling
operationa from afar so as not to afford security agencies abroad the
opportunity to discover his activities.
~ The ring leader prepared a Mercedes auto, loaded it with narcotics and
then, 2 weeks ago, sent the auto aboard one of the ships in Latakia har-
bor which arrived in Alexandria on 25 February. Meanwhile, the leader
of the Turkish gang, 'Izzat Akmelik, using a forged Turkish passport
_ bearing the name of 'Abd-al-Rahman Kaffaf, arrived at Cairo International -
Airport on 21 February aboard a Tunisian airline plane wfth four members
of his gang. They are Biku Baldrim, Salah al-Din Margan, Nioran Kartal
~ and 'Abd-al-Qadir Nashtalan. They were placed under close surveillance.
The [security] apparatus, under t~e coimnand of Col Muhammad 'Abbas, direc-
tor of operations, and Col Sayyid Ghayth, chief of foreign activities,
observed their movements and recorded their meetings.
After the auto arrived in Alexandria w ith Turkish plate Nbr 222 and was
given Alexandria Customs Nbr 19755, Biku wen t to Alexandria, submitted
the clearances for the car, took delivery of it and returned to Cairo
with it. Surveillance noted that the gang members met with several drug
dealers for the purpose of selling the smuggled load. Th~y moved between
several hotels so as not to expose their affaire and also spent their
evenings in one of the [gambling]casinos.
.
Col Mustafa al-Kashif and Maj Mahmud 'Abd-al-Ra'uf, pretending to be nar-
cotics dealers, held numerous meetings with the Turkish gang and its leader
- in order to gain their confidence. This led to negotiations over the cost
of opium. After agreement was reached on the price, with the disguised ~
off icers insisting on the lowest price, they requested a meeting with the =
gang in an apartment which they rented for this purpose so as to reassure -
= the smugglers [of their intentionsJ. At the f inal meeting in that apart-
ment, the gang insisted on payment of 30,000 Egyptian pounds as down
payment with the remait~der being paid upon completion of the deal. After
they counted the money and were satisfied, they indicated their readiness -
_ to deliver the narcotics at the same time so as to avoid any trap prepared
for them. They didn't realize that they were surrounded by security men
' and that whatever went on in the apartment was heard outside by radios.
At the same time, the security apparatuses, under the command of Lt Cols
~ Ahmad Nada, Ma~ Husayn and Shafiq al-'Ashri and Maj 'Imad Rashid, cl~sed
in after arresting the gang leader who arrived ~n the Mercedes. They found

suitcases. The [Sabena Airlines] company representative.was finishing the
customs procedures on the two [which were] among the luggage of the =
[arriving] aircraft crew of the Belgian Sabena Company. The plane had
arrived yes terday [9 March] from Brussels. Af ter the crew picked up
their luggage, Fahmi Hammudah, deputy chief of the customs' shift, noticed
two suitcases. When he asked the crew about them it became apparent they
did not belong to them. The company representative decided that the two
suitcases belonged to the plane engineer who came and disavowed any con-
nection with them.
The two suitcases were opened in the presence of Lt Col Mahmud 'Atif "
Rizq, the airport explosives off icer. Found in them was 40 kilos of raw
opium wrapped in tinfoil to prevent permeation of its odor.
- Informed were Ibrahim H~^na, deputy customs director, and Sayyid Durrah,
director general of customs, who ordered a report on the incident. He also
ordered holding the company's representative who was remanded to the
customs prosecution which [in turn] ordered his imprisonment pending
investigation.
The reports indicate that the two suitcases had been sent to Egypt from an
opium-producing country and the plane crew was used to get them through cus-
toms du e to the easy procedures applied to them.

DRUG ENFORCEI~NT HEAD ARRESTED FOR DRUG TRAFFICKING
- BND Puxsues Drug Smugglers
Brussels LE SOIR in French 25 Jan 80 p 1
[Article by Rene Haquin: "Drugs: no Hs~les in the Net"]
[TextJ Drug traffickers would be extremely ill-advised
to try to take advantage of the upheaval caused by the
arrest of the head of the National Drug Bureau to sell
their production on the Belgian market, or to ship via
Brussels National merchandise that they ordinarily di-
rect elsewhere. In fact, at gendarmerie general head-
quarters--that gendarmerie that has and keeps on its
list of missions the suppression of narcotics traffic--
they clearly told us that there wi1Z be no holes in the
nets, ~hat there will be no "whitewash" in the operation.
So let the dealers know it, and the special zeal that the "caretakers" are able
to apply to the execution of a mission is well known.
In well-informed circles it is thought to be premature at the very least to
talk about the disappearance of the bureau that was directed by Maj Francois.
Of course, no doubt internal reorganizations may be expected--and the plan for
accontplashing, .,them ~oes not really date from today--, but by force of circum- -
stance and the kind of special training this work requires, there will always
be a specialized section within the gendarmerie. At any rate, we have had the
impression in our contacts with the gendarmerie that it is not ready to give
, over the BND [National Narcotics BureauJ to others. -

head, and also for the Antwerp BIC [Criminal Information Adtninist~ration) agent

Scand.al in Gendarmerie
Brussels LE SOIR in French 25 Jan 80 p 2
[Article by Rene Haquin]
[Text] Also, a non-commissioned BND officer, Willy de Cuyper, is known to have
been placed in his turn under an arrest warrant Tuesday morning, It has also
- beer. learned that the examining magistrate, Mr de Biseau d'Hauteville, had
charged and placed under warrant of arrest on Tuesday evening a third BND
gendarme, the non-commissioned officer Andre Camerman, 38. These two gendarm-
erie non-commissioned officers are to appear before the Council Chamber to-
gether on Friday.
Charged with trafficking in narcotics, Maj Francois was undoubtedly led dis-
creetly and well before the hour into a place near the Council Chamber, to
remove him from the public and the photographers who were waiting for him. No
one saw him enter toward noon or leave shortly after 140~.
For nearly two hours Mr de Biseau d'Hauteville reported on the examination,
which is shaping up as one of the most complex and the longest ever known until
now. He made no chronology of the events, but up to now has been especially
interested in what happened at the Brussels National Airport: the comings and
goings of myst~erious suitcases that at the request of the BND cleared customs
without inspection in 1977 and 1978. The examining judge also mentioned the
explanations given by the arrested officer: a 12-page statement in which
Maj Francois said in substance that the operations are still being carried out,
covered by his superiors.
_ Mr de Biseau d'Hauteville, visibly tired by this week of interrogations and in-
vestigation, said no more about the searches conducted up to the present. A
- great deal of verifying is yet to be done, very many persons are still to be
heard, and it is for the obvious needs of this inquiry that the king's prose-
_ cutor, Mr Lemage, requested confirmation of the first two warrants of arrest.
Eric Vergauwen for Maj Frd~icois and Mme Goos~ens for the BIC agent, Cloonen,
each pleaded for less than 10 minutes. The decision of the Council Chamber
came immediately afterwards, at 1415.
The legal inquiry is known to have been entrusted to the BSR [Special Investi-
gation Brigade] of the gendarmerie. Maj Vernaillen himself conducted the most
important interrogations.
From an American source a.t was also learned that the two agents of the Drug En-
forcement Administration [DEA] stationed in Brussels, who left Belgium in June
and July 1979, had completed their terms. Their departure, it is stated, has
no relation to the Francois affair. Nevertheless, the DEA's Belgian branch is
cooperating in the investigation of Maj Francois and the activities of the BND.
In the Netherlands, too, the CRI [expansion unknown], the drug prevention organ-
ization, is participating in the inquiry. From a police source at the Hague,

_ there was already speculation on Wednesday about the role that might have been
_ played by certain members of the Belgian Drug Bureau in a triple escape in
December from Scheveningen prison. Among the three escapees--two French and
one Italian--was Albert Farcy, a well-known dealer, who was sentenced to five
years in tha Netherlands and was also a BND informer.
Let us note immediately that none of this appeared in the examining judge's re-
port on Wednesday, and that for this reason the police comments from across
the Moerdijk are premature to say the least.
What is correct is that Albert Farcy, also known by the first name of Bruno,
the owner of a bar on the rue des Drapiers in Ixelles, is a dangerous person
who has used several police departments to his own advantage by someti.mes giv-
ing th~em information. In Belgium he was mixed up in at least two murders, and
_ it was in his wake that already in 1977, several months before his arrest in
the Netherlands, a BIC agent, Van Grunderbeek, was photographed by the Dutch
Antidrug Service while he was delivering narcotics to a Chinese from Amsterdam.
When the Uutch investigators found out that Van Grunderbeek's automobile be-
longed to the Belgian government (ministry of Justice), they did not push the
ma~ter. Van Grunderbeek was subsequently arrested in Belgium, after being ask-
ed to resign from his BIC duties. But he too kept saying that he had acted
under cover of his superiors. He was released some months later.
Albert Farcy has often worked for the police, and one has the conviction that
_ he has largely profited from his privileges to engage in narcotics traffic on
a grand scale. Incarcerated in the Netherlands, whenever it seemed like a
g~od idea to him he could telephone to Belgium, to his wife or certain BND
members or BIC members, and he could receive many visits in prison.
When the BND's Maj Francois sent a courier, Joseph Vienne, to buy five kilos of
heroin in Southeast Asia, Albert Farcy succeeded in doubling for the gendarmer-
- ie from his prison and giving Vienne the mission of taking ad~antage of the
trip to take to Kenya clandestinely 22 additional kilos of heroin, to be de-
livered to his brother Michel Farcy in Nairobi. And it was while returning
from Kenya to Karachi that Joseph Vienne was arrested.
- Having escaped last 30 December, Farcy may have sought refuge in Zaire, where
his wife went last year, after she became anxious about a narcotics investiga-
tion when she was living in Walloon Brabant.
Investigata.ons in Zaire
Brussely LE SOIR in French 25 Jan 80 p 2
[Article by Rene Haquin]
[Taxt] According to our information investigations are actually taking place in
Kinshasa. They would concern the affair of mysterious suitcases that arrived
at the airport without customs in~spection, or more accurately were "verified"
by a BND gendarme disguised as a customs official. The latter's wife worked
at Air Zaire in Brussels and was thus in frequent contact with that company's
pilots.

The BND gendarmes stated that a number of suitcases were empty, but there was
no confirmaticn of this and those suitcases have "vanished" into thin air.
Hence one wonc.ers whether they were camouflaged supplies. According to un-
confirmed i.nformation, the Kinshasa authorities were preparing to proceed with
arrests among the personnel of the airline. -
The report of t~e examining judge to the Council Chamber also questioned at
length what happenea a~ Brussels National Airport. A non-commissioned officer
of the gendarmerie who sometimes escorted smugglers of suitcases has also
been interragateci.
In Brussels, the judicial inquiry has not been concentrated zxclusively on
the BND and the airport, but also on the BIC, which is known to be responsible
to the minister or Justice himself. Members of the $SR of the gendarmerie,
among whom were a non-commissioned officer of the crimes section and anot`~er -
from the narcotics section, on Tuesday conducted a regulation search of that
administration's premises. Various files were seized and taken to the examin- _
_ ing judge's table.
The BSR of the gendarmerie is also looking for a former geiidarme, a certain
Andre D., who became a BIC agent and works ~n Antwerp.
To our knowledge the examining judge has not yet begun confirming the millions
Maj Francois says he was allotted by the gendarmerie. Superior officers on
the gendarmerie's general staff will have to be heard on that subject, and it
is also at that level that an accounting will have to be made one of these ~
days.
Like any other accused person, Maj Francois is presumed innocent. But it is -
obvious that in this affair, in which the web is just beginning to be untangled,
he made decisions and may have broken laws with the goal, he keeps repeating,
of always being more efficient. The first problem will be to determine whether
or not he might have profite-' from certain situations, which does not appear in
the examining magistrate's report.
In the event that he was merely aiming at efficiency and is being blamed for
not being satisfied to use legal methods, the authorities who covered fo: him,
whatever their ranks or offices, will certainly have to come forward with him
to explain themselves.
The examination currently in progress consequently assumes major importance.
Either there are a few men--among the best--who have betrayed society's confi- _
dence in them, or it is the entire system that is compromised. That would have _
seemed unlikely ten y~ears ago. Today, the mere mention of several recent af-
tairs, from the sentencing of the Ghent examining judge, Guy Jaspers, through
_ the affairs that have shaken the police of Ixelles or Brussels, the Criminal
Investigation Department and now the gendarmerie, indicates that no l~nger are
any of the circles formerly believed to be protected from such scandals be
spared.

JUSTICE MINISTRY WORKING GROUP REPORTS ON DRUGS IN PRISONS
Copenhagen BERLINGSKE TIDENDE in Danish 1 Feb 80 p 11
- [Article by Preben Freitag, medical director: "Violence and Narcotics in
Prisons")
[Text] In December of 1979 a task force under the Ministry of Justice _
presented a recommendation on the violence and nar~cotics problem in closed
prieons and the institution at Herstedvester.
In view of the fact that it is our declared policy to limi~ as much as
pobaible the imprisonment of those who are dependent upc~�-.. drugs, it is a
sad picture which is painted in the report. In eight surveys in the years
from 1971 to 1979 the total number of narcotics criminals in Danish prisons
and detention houses has been between 520 and~~728 persons, with 3 slightly
increasing tendency through the last 3 years (1977: 516, 178: 585 and
1979: 652. The p~rcentage of narcotics criminals as compared to the total
number of inmates in the prisons has fluctuated between 16 and 23, and the
figure was 23 during the survey in Se~tember 1979. -
In the closed institutions, which the report is specially concerned with,
the situation is that during the last survey in September of 1979 there
were a total of 425 drug abusers imprisoned or 30 percent of the total number
of inmates, and it is ass~zmed that approximately two-thirds of them were
invol.ve~? in serious abuse of opiates. Since 1971 this figure has increased
from 307 drug abusers or 21 percent. _
It is understandable that the Ministry of Justice has let the task force
treat violence and narcotics problems in the closed section of the prisons
as a whole. There is of course unfortunately a close, and for the employees
_ frequently visible, connection between these problems. When the inmates
= assume debt commitments which they cannot meet, the law of the ~ungle reigns.
This is possibly part of the explanation for the increasircg tendency towards
violence which it is believed has been observed.
The conditions described her~ under which the inmates are serving their
sentences should be unacceptable. The "common" vio~.ator of. the law should
- have the right to be able to serve his sentence without any risk that he

himself would become dependent upon drugs, exposed to infection and to
limitations on his freedom because oE the special problems of another group _
of inmates. The drug abuser on his side must have the possibility of being -
left alone by the dealers during the prison sentence and enjoy the same
_ advantages as the otner inmates have.
The proposal by the task force will not result in the necessary changes. _
The most important initiative is a desire to placa the approximately 20 "
inmates who are in charge of the more organized narcotics trade in a special
~ detention housz. In addition, more common improvements are proposed in the
training, occupational and recreational facilities.
The task force seems gener~lly intent on continuing the policy carried out
_ so far, which is based on the so-called "dilution principle," according tu _
;ahich the number ~f drug abusers in an individual institution should not
exceed 15-20 percent of the total number of inmates, but precisely this
"principle" has of course turned out to be impossible to apply throughout
the last 6-8 years. The dilution principle has actually meant that the
inmates have largely been left to themselves and to the discretion of their
fellow inmatea. It is useless to continue this course as if nothing had
happened. A little fun, a few occupational and training measures and the
introduction of a few more small restrictions makes no difference in this
connection. Completely radical changes in the conditions under which the -
narcotics criminals are serving their sentences must be carried out.
� The approximately 400 inmates with more serious abuse problems must serve
under special conditions since they constitute a special group. It will
presumably be advisable to divide them into three subgroups and to let
these groiips serve sepa.rately. In addition to the ~ailing of the dealers _
suggested in the proposal, the remaining group of narcotics criminals, the
actual abusers, should be distributed over variou, nrisons dependent upon -
whether it is estimated that they could manage to serve their sentences
without drugs or whether they are inmates who are so deeply involved in the
abuse that they must serve under conditions where there simu?_taneously is _
a possibility for medically controlled treatment.
It is assumed that the ~'~~tribution of these three groups will be planned
= by a team of physicians, psycholo~ists and welfare people with special
knowledge of narcotics problems. Right behind such a conscious and direct
- effort, analyses must continuously be carried out of the effect of the attempts ~
_ at treatment and forms for serving the sentences as outlined, in such a
way that the necessary adjustment can be carried ouY, When it is to be
decided what measures will be applied, it is, of course, almost embarrassing _
that the criminal welfare office after having retained drug abusers for a
decade only has a single study available. This "coincidence principle"
must be replaced by a more analytical attitude. In the investigation
discussed, Bjorn Holstein and Torben Jersild: "932 criminal drug abusers-- -
9 y2ars later," from 1976 it is pointed out, as has been done in several
foreign studies, that placement in prisons and institutions is generally
seldom advisable for the treatment of narcotics abusers. There is therefore
- good reason for starting the treatment work already when the inmates
start to serve their sentences, but it is worth specifying that this phase
only constitutes the start of the post-treatment and care in freedom, which -
_ also n~ust be preferred as compared to a stay in more or less artificial
. institutional environments.

NORTH SJAELLAND POLICE R.EpORT USE OF SCHOOL PUPILS IN HASHISH RINGS
Copenhagen BERLINGSKE TIDENDE in Danish 27 Jan 80 p 7
[Article by Bent Bak Andersen: "How Children Are Driven into Crime.
Exploitation of School Children by Nar~otics I3ealere"] -
[Text] School children are exploited in the worst manner by cynical narcotics
- dealera. The school children are afraid of bei~g keptout of the "group"--it
is modern to smoke hash. It costs money, and to start with the aeller gives
long-term credit.
In a little branch of the big narcotics complex which ie being unravelled `
in North S~aelland, the detective force hss aeveral examples of the cyniciam
which characterizes the narcotics tradera:
A 15-year-old boy had started to smoke hash. One day he owed his aupplier ~
- 1,500 kroner, and it had to be paid at once.
The boy did not have the money, but he had a stereo system work 12,000 kroner
bought on the installment plan. The supplier comes and demands the stereo
system delivered and gets it. The boy is desperate and afraid of the
consequences if he does not pay.
The boy calls a friend, who consoles him and says that he will try to talk
- to the dealer:
The friend: "You, can't we manage it in another way, can't you wait till
- we can get hold of the money?" _
The seller: "A deal is a deal, and the money is due now. I don't want to
listen to you any ffiore. Bye."
Out into Crime
The conversation is completed. The friend could not do anything, and the
15-year-old boy must now explain to his parents where the stereo ~ystem has
gone. At the same time he still has the payments for the system, which must
' 37

be paid to the radio dealer at fixed times. Money must be obtained, and
- crime becomes the only possibility. The boy is on his way into a circle
which it is almost impossible to get out of.
Thia ie only one example and a comparatively "mild" example of how narcotics
crime operates.
In the case in North S~aelland thousan~s of other young kids have been
' exposed to considerably greater demands from their directors. And the paychic _
terror which is conducted against them is about to drive many of them out
of their minds and consequently to a greater consumption of narcotica in
- order to he able to escape from the harsh reality for a~hile.
The police are cor.tinuing to put all efforts into unravelling the widely
branched importer, wholesaler and dealer network.
Imprisonment f~r 173 Years
As the case stands now, 80 perople have received a total of 173 years ~
imprisonment, and these are sentences stretching from 6 months to 9 years
of imprisonment.
Theae 80 people are sentenced for quantities exceeding sales at the street ~
level, for more than 100 million kroner. Some detectives even believe that
the actual sales have far exceeded 200 million kroner.
This is money which the narcotics abusers have had to obtain. Some have
been helped by the family to start with, but when this was not enough, they
had to go into prostitution or crime to be able to afford the daily dosea.
None of the 80 people sentenced, of whom more than 20 are foreigners, are
~ themselves dependent on drugs. But it is characteristics of them that 90
percent of them have been sentenced previously for other criminal acts.
In the prison they have discovered how many really are dependent upon nar-
cotics, and when they h~~~e been released, they have had no doubt where they
would carry out their business. Namely by trade with narcotics.

_ police have to enter a property even if they were asked if they had a court
authorization. The police said that court authorization is not neceasary
on Greenland.
_ When GRONLANDSPOSTEN asked the station leader in Nuuk, Jens S. Rasmussen,
if 3t was correct, he was able to confirm it. It is only necessary ~hat
the conditions be met.
The Suspicion _
"The searches by the police are based exclusively on auspicion, and with
that suspicion we have the right to enter people's houaes without ~ourt
authorization. Only when the suspect is heard, is a report sent to the ~udge
� for approval. If the ~udge does not approve of the report, the police must
- pay compensation to the interrogated party.

"Before the police start an in~~estigation we must inform the suspect that
he or ahe doea not have to anawer.
_ "The police can detain a peraon for up to 24 hours. When 24 hours have
passed, the euspect must be preaented in court or be released. But the
police can prolong the detention with a ruling by a~udge. The dietrict
_ court decidee whether the police will detain the suapect and, if so, how
long." -
However, the rules are different for people who live in the districts. The
24-hour rule applies first for a suapect or a criminal from a district
when he or she comQS to a town with a court authority.
- "The police i~? Nuuk have never used court decision~ in connection with searches _
of people or properties. They are only used when letters and packages or
accounts are to be investigated," says Jens S. Rasmussen.
Body Searchea
. Pasaengers from Sondre Stromfjord who land at Nuuk airport are also exposed
to searchea for alcohol or hash. The picture here also includes suspicion,
and the poltce therefore do not have to have a court order.
- When the police carry out a body search of a person, they can undress him
or her and aearch all "apenings."
- If a woman is to be undressed, another woman must search her. But nohody -
aska who will carry out the search or what work the woman who carries out
the search has. But it is normally a woman employed by the police. There
is no requirement that a physician or a nurse must carry out the search.
If people who ar~e exposed to body searches or other searches feel that they
are poorly treated, they have a possibility for complaining to the legal =
authorities, i.e., either the police or the supreme court.
The law on the administration of Justice on Greenlan.d differs in some points
from the same law for Denmark. It was introduced in 1954 and has since ~
been supplemented or changed over the years, last time in 1964.

POLICE UNRAVEL HEROIN GANG MADE UP MAINLY OF FILIPINOS
Copenhagen BERLINGSKE TIDENDE in Danish 10 Feb 80 p 10
[Article: "Heroin Ring Is Being Unravelled"]
[Text] An international heroin gang, which over a long period of time has
been unravelled by Copenhagen's narcotics police, is losing more and more
of its members in Denmark. In recent weeks aeveral foreigners and some
Danes have been arrested and imprisoned for extensive trade with heroin.
On Friday a 24-year-old Filipino was imprisoned for 4 days in the same case.
The reason why he was imprisoned for such a short period of time was the
the entire gang will be presented in court on Tuesday. Approximately 15
- foreigners--mostly Filipinos--are imprisoned in the case.
Several have admitted trade with up to 20 kilograms of heroin and attempts
at amuggling in 9 kilograms. On the black market the drug has a value of
20 million kroner. So far the narcotics police have seized 4.5 kilograms
- of heroin and 100,000 kroner in cash.
One week ago a 29-year-old Pakistani was imprisoned charged with trading in
heroin. In spite of the fact that he was expelled from Denmark in 1975
(trading in morphine for more than 2 million kroner), he has been very
ac:tive on the Danish narcotics market e�ver since.
Everybody in the case is charged in accord~ance with the hard narcotics
~ paragraph, which can result in imprisonment for up to 10 years.

ROBBED BANKS FOR DRUGS--Six bank robberiQS within a mAnth with a total yield
of 125,000 kroner financed a 27-year-old narcotics addict's purchases of
narcotice. On Thursday he was arrested a few minutes after he had h~l.d
up the SDS Savings Bank branch office on Kongens Nytorv in Copenhage:i for
33,000 kroner. Just 1 week earlier he had obtained 22,000 from the same
cashier in the same bank. All six robberies have been carried out against
banks and savings banks in central Copenha~en and around Stroget and Kongens _
Nytorv. The 27-year-old man pleaded guilty and has been imprisoned for
4 weeke. In none of the bank robberies had he uaed a weapon--he either _
held one hand in his pocket or he only said threateningly, "Hand over the
money"--and got the large amount of money handed over. All the money was
used for buying heroin. He used approximately 30,000 kraner daily for his
drugs. [Text] [Copenhagen BERLINGSKE TIDENDE in Danish 10 Feb 80 p 10]

SE~JERE DRUG PROBL~PRS, INADEQUATE FACILITIES IN HESSE
- Hamburg DER SPIEGEL in German 17 Mar 80 pp 136-1~+0
CArticle: "Druq Treatment: 'Nothing in Hesse
CText] It is on the Main that one finds the: highest
number of deaths among narcotic addicts: 124 last year.
_ In no other federal Land, however, are drug users so
free from interference from the authorities. This has
now been substantiated by an internal study of
the Hesse Land government. A million mark program
for druq addicts should now remedy the situation.
= Hesse's Minister of the Interior Ekkehard Gries (FDP) ordered a"general
mobilization" and threw his "last reserves on the drug front": 67 police
officers whom he removed fram other positions, and 8 dogs trained to s~ent -
narcotics.
His colleague Herbert Guenther (SPD) of the justice department made means
available to provide external counseling to imprisoned addicts to "motivate
them to face up to their addiction problems" and pave "their way to outside
treatment facilities."
The minister of justice plans to use all means to bring drug contraband in
_ prisona under control. If necessary, even the intestines of vi~itors will
be X-rayed; Guenther is still looking for technical ways of doing just =
that. ~
Armin Clauss (SPD), minister of social affairs, is now going to pour the
money instead of letting it trickle. At a closed meeting of ~
- the SPD I,andtag fraction, 2 weeks ago in Kufstein, Austria, Clauss -
presented his bill: an additional 47 million marks will have to come out -
of the provincial lbuc3get to provide care for addicts.
It is stupid, the minister of social affairs complains, for hospitals to
send drug dependent patients "anywhere, as quickly as possible, under the
pretext that they louse up the hospital atmosphere." Clauss demands that
"uninterrupted treatment chains be established and weak points eliminated."

The strong-man act of the Hessian minister squad to get a better hold on
the druq problem in the Land has been triggered by an internal study
of the provincial government in Wiesbaden, also intended as an "outline for
a Hessian drug-abuse control program," and which uncovered failures and
omissions. "In its inventory-taking," an SPD deputy evaluates the paper,
"it amounts to a declaration of bankruptcy."
Hesse has remained behind in many drug-related areas. For instance, there
are only 88 beds available in long-term treatment_facilities although, ac-
cording to doctors, this is the only method which~offers a real chance of
curing addicts. Bavaria, on the other hand, has 324 beds and Baden- -
Wuerttemberg 226--both lands where the heroin problem is much less acute.
For years now, the Rhine-Main area, with its abundant supply and low prices,
has been a pivotal point for FRG and foreign heroin consumers--the Wiesbaden
- politicians could not hide from that fact. At the end of last year, the -
Frankfurt criminal police alone had registered 2,016 dru~-dependent people -
liable to prosecution, among whom, according to Frankfurt Chief Criminal -
Police Superintendent Peter Loos, "people who have been arreste3 for the
15th time."
In addition, the Frankfurt criminal police estimates at 4,000 the number of
addicts who are still concealed in their families or hiding in drug users'
communities. And a large number of addicts has settled i.n neighboring
towns.
Meanwhile, the police knows dealers' meeting places, in the Herrngarten of -
Daxtnstatt as well as in the bar district of Hanau. Many addicts have also
moved to the country, as far away as the Wetterau, close enough for a trip -
to the Frankf�art heroin market and still far enouqh from the fire of police
con~rols.
Every fifth heroin-related death in the FRG takes place in the congested _
lower Main area; last year, the number of narcotic victims in Hesse reached
124. Thc~ youngest v~ctim was found in Offenbach, 14 year old Sandy who
injected herself an overdose in the home of her Turkish friend.
In Frankfurt only, the authorities have confiscated a total of 80 kilograms -
of hard drugs last year, 3 times as much as the previous year, and more than
was confiscated in all of the FRG during 1977. _
The amount 3iscovered represents only a small part of wllat Frankfurt drug
users require to satisfy their addiction: approximately 360 kilograms worth
roughly 60 miilion marks per year. And this is only a fraction of the
quantity sold on the Main to all of Europe.
The central position of the city and the busy air traffic over the Rhine- _
Main area have long attracted international narcotic organizations. For
- years, moreover, they could count on lax controls at the airport. .

The Land government now considers clearance at the airport as "absolute-
ly in need of improvement." Customs investigation is now going to be consid-
erably reinforced, in agreement with the federal finance minister.
However, a new gap has already opened at the airport, where 35,000 people are
employed from whose circles, according to the findings of the Wiesbaden au-
thorities, "trade and contraband of narcotics and drugs are increasing." To
make the Rhine-Main area, lose its "reputation as the narcotics center of
Europe," ~the minister of the int~rior demands an injection of 2.3 million
marks to expand th~ control and investigation system.
On the Frankfurt scene, the police now sees itself forced into a role which
- is not his. "We have to take care of heavily dependent patients who move
around in hundreds," is how Knut Stroh, director of the naraotics department,
sees the situation. Almost all have already been tak.en into custody once,
have appeared in court or have been in a men~al institution~ Says Stroh:
- "Sooner or later we get them again."
They deal and doze. The career of addict Keller, as recorded over a period
of years by Chie� Criminal Police Superintendent ~oos, is no exception:
- addicted since 1969, 43 times liable to prosecution and committed umpteen _
= times.
~ Keller explained his hopeless situation to the criminal police: "Withdrawal
treatment is just crap; when you bust a drug user, he may have a few days of
physical withdrawal while in jail, but then they kick him out right away;
nobody wants us." Keller gave himself his last heroin injection.
According to druq experts, all atempts at motivating hard-core drug users to
long-term treatment come too late. Superintendent Loos advocates "isolating
- them as skin disease patients because, in this case, the legal rights to life
and health are to be placed above the riqht to freedom and, outsi3e, each of
them only creates new addicts." Minister of Social Affairs Clauss is now
looking for a"sensible solution for this remainder for which all previous
- measures have failed."
For years, drug users had staked off their grounds on the Frankfurt "hash
field." Before the eyes of policemen and passersby, addicted students would
get the stuff, dealers would trade a few grams at a profit--money for the~.r
own needs.
In February, narcotics investigators cleared the place. This action, -
however, could not "dissolve" addicts "into thin air," as investigators
conceded: yet, Frankfurt should no longer be "so attractive" a magnet.
"We wanted to make the trip unattractive to non-residents."
Foreign 3ealers should not be a problem for the police in the future. The
provincial government is considering expelling them "immediately after the
first incident." No allowance will be made in Hesse for those who have

requested asylum: requests will be considered "denied on the first drug-
- related offense"t if asylum has already been granted, it will be consider-
ed "forfeited."
The drug situation in the prisons and psychiatric inatitutions of Hesae
is hardly less hopeless. In the Hadamar psychiatric hospital, for in-
- stance, which receives addicts from the Rhine-Main area, there are 34 beds
for clinical withdrawaltre~tment."What we take out of the bodies of drug-
dependent patient~," a Frankfurt drug counselor tells us, "is smuggled
right back by visitors."
- Until now, attempts to introduce motivation and treatment in institutions
have failed. ~Tiesbaden politicians admit that "especially in the facili-
ties in the Land welfare association, personnel and material pr~req-
uisites" are lacking.
Meanwhile, enforcement in Hessian detention centers is shaped to a large
extent by addicts; occasionally, internal drug markets are established.
Of the 4,400 convi~ts and prisoners awaiting trial who served time during
the first half of 1979, approximately 730 were depend~nt on druqs, and
_ every other woman inmate was an addict.
The creation of a drug center in the Frankfurt-Preungesheim prison for wo-
- men did not bring any relief. Even the architectural prerequisites to the
- smallest measure of success are lacking. Druq-dependent and non-addict
inmates are mixed, which, according to the findings of the ministry of
justice, permits "mutual indoctrination."
According to the provincial government, a"segreqation" of the inmates
ahould ensure that the jail does not create additional addicts. But,
according to the minister of justice, "it makes sense" to persuade addicts
who are in jail to under~ro treatment at a later date "only if the necessary
long-term treatment capacity is already available."
Until now, such motivation work has be~n wasted. Drug counselors and
social workers must place addicts who are ready for treatment in facilities
outside the province, for instance in the long-term Synanon facilities in
Berlin, in the Bavarian Daytop chain or in the Tuebingen Drug Assistance.
The Hessian lack of assistance to addicts has now also been reviewed by the
team of addiction specialists of the psychosocial committee, a body com-
prising representatives of independent institutions, associations and city
offices. Berthold Kilian of the Hessian Charities complains: "Offers of
, help always come limping betiind the dynamics of the sr.ene."
Bottlenecks in the supply hinder drug workers right from the start. Bernhard
Menzemer of the Youth Counseling and Assistance learned that when "the
tiniest seed of motivation is sprouting," it is often not possible "to
- transplant it."

In Frankfurt, there are not even enough beds for physical withdrawal treatment;
the situation is absolutely "catastrophic," as the addiction committee stated
- in a situation report.
While in Hamburg and Hannover, for instance, spacial sections for phyeical
detoxication were created years aqo, there are officially only 15 beds avail-
~ able in Frankfurt hospitals, and they are distributed all over the whole
urban area. Kilian states: "It is not possible to carry out withdrawal
treatmen~ somewhere in a hospital corner with three beds."
The subsequent fight about who should assume the cost of long-term treatment,
and the long waiting period before admission in a treatment center are the
reasons why drug-dependent patients who were ready for treatment will rapidly -
_ disappear again in the scene. Menzemer demands: "We need a seamless system
where each patient is immediately placed wl~ere he belongs."
_ Gaps in the treatment chain have already had lethal consequences in Frankfurt.
A 23 year old addict who had been detoxicated in the Koeppern psychiatric -
hospital and was waiting to be admitted for treatment died of an ov~rdose
of pills.
Another one, for whom a place had been secured in the Black Forest, but who
was waiting for someone to take over the cost, died from an injection which
he gave himself at home, after he had been released from the Eichberg psy-
chiatric hospitdl.
And there is little help available in Hesse for those who have become needle
addicts already in their youth. Althaugh "more and more frequently very
young addicted patients appear in counseling centers," states the study of
_ the committee, there are "no treatment facilities" for this group.
According to the findings of the drug committee, pregnant women and young
mothers addicted to narcotics do not have any opportunity for treatment.
- Nothing is provided, either, for druq-dependent patients who suffer from
rsose physical illness in addition to their addiction.
The Frankfurt association for drug assistance Zuflucht is now taking care of
a 25 year old narcotic addict, a woman who became paraplegic after jumping =
out of the window of a private institution in Merxhausen, Northern Hesse. -
After detoxification at the Frankfurt Univer~ity iiospital, Zuflucht:'s Manager
Kurt Mooq placed the patient in Muenster, Westphalia: "In Hesse, there is
nothing."
The deficiencies of Wiesbaden's hea~_th policy will now be corrected through
a program which Minister of Social Affairs Clauss has "good hopes" can at
least "considerably improve the situation over a three years' period":
-"The system of drug counseling centers will be extended to cover all of
Hesse, includin~ the 'flatlands."' Required provincial financing: eight
- million marks.

KU~DS REPORTED INVOLVED IN HERO~N SMUGGLING
. Frankfurt FRANKFURTER ALLGEMEII~IE in German 18 Mar 80 p 7
- [Text] Duesseldorf, 17 March (dpa)--Recently a new group of dealers has
evidently established itaelf in the heroin smuggling business. They are
- Kurds. They have organized the transport and sal~ of the narcotic: in such
a way that they are bringing heroin into the FRG primarily via East Berlin's _
- Schoen~feld Airport. This is the view held bV the Chief Finance Adminis-
tration in Duesseldorf as well as the Gustoms an3 Crime Institute in Cologne. _
Membera of the Ku~rds (who live in the east of Turkey, in the west of Iran
- and in the northweat of Iraq) apparently finance in part their permanent
. atruggle for liberation from the proceeds of the heroin amugglin~. `
In the otherwiae so closely controlled East Berlin, of all places, it is
apparently not too difficult for the narcotics smugglers to pass through
the cantrols with heroin in their luggage or on their person. The Friedrich-
strasse crossing-po~nt to West Berlin, too, does not appear to be a problem
for them. In West Berlin the transport of the heroin i~t~o the FRG becomes
very easy. The customs officials naturally have the right to check the
i flight passengers on domestic flights as well, but they hardly ever do so
~ because they would only make more trouble for themselves. -
By the way, the Duesseldorf Airport appears to be the main center in the
FRG for the distribution of the heroin that is smuggled in by air. Th~ _
smugglers chose new wa~s because the control in the ports of Amsterdam and
_ Rotterdam for example (where the contraband arrives by ship) has become
considerably more effective--just like the control on the o~~erland r~utes -
that lead across the Balkans to southern Germany. -

VINCENNES DRUG EXPOSURE SEEN POI,ITICALLY MOTIVATED
Paris VALEUItS ACTUELLES in French 10 Mar 80 pp 22-23
[Article by Philippe Kraenopolski]
_ [Text] Drugs and agitation at the Univeraity of Vin~eanea. The backdrop,
a aqusring of accounts between aocialists and co~unists.
"No guards, no cops." The pennant was atill attached to the iron grill
fence at the entrance to the Paria VIII campus, the "experimental" univer-
aity of Vincennea. The guards of the Paris rectorate have left. Yet,
it was the university councfl, co~uniat for the most part, which, on
25 February, had requested their arrival--in order to check student carda
and to thua diesuade dope peddlers.
Because Vincennes has become a veritable drug market. Several kilos of -
- heroin are sold there and conaumed every year. The police drug aquad
_ estimatea the drug ~urnover at more than 10 million francs. And this
buaineas is conducted in broad daylight: in the cafeteria, always crowded
and filled with smoke, or in the "souk" [a term for Arab market place]:
abo+it 10 dealers of miacellaneous inexpensive items, records, books,
French fries, and small apicy saus$ges, who, having been expelled beyond
the wal.ls of the university on the decision of President Pierre Merlin,
gather in front of the iron gatea of Xhe school, in the small clearing
that also serves for parking and a bus stop.
- Of some 90 persons arrested at Vincennes for trafficking, since 1977, only
5 poaseased a student card--which resulted in the decision of the univer-
sity council to check the cards. This was a decision that was not easily
applicable: Vincennes has 32,000 atudents, more than half of them foreign.
- The gur~rds, in metal-grey raincoats, arrived on Monday, 3 March--about 10
_ of them, at 0900 houra. I~ost of the students complied with the check. The
- others crowded into the clearing. ~
"Wii~i~ ~there were enough of them, about 200," said a profeasor," they for.ced
their way in."

- Then the university council had an emergency meeting. It lasted 5 hours,
under the pressure of the leftist students, who did not heaitate to oreak
the door of the conference room and to physically interven~. At 1700 houra,
the council retracted its decision and sent the guarde away--which Merlin
openly crtticizes. ~
"It is regrettable that the university council reversed itself as a -
reault of the preasure of a few hundred students, who represent only two
or three percent of the persons who go to the university," he said on _
channel 2.
One of the cc~sncil members went further in his explanation:
"It was the council," he said, "led by the communists, that requested the -
_ guarda--not Pierre Merlin, who considered the neasure unrealistic. They
now have gone back on their decision and want to ma~Ce him solely responsi-
ble for the agitation."
The Student Union communique confirma this: "We consider that socialist
Preaident Pierre Merlin bears a heavy responeibility for the climate that -
surrounds thie situation..." _
"So it is a political maneuver," said this professory "all the more so
because, 6 months before the transfer from Vincennes to iaint-Denis, the
cammunists have an interest in causing trouble for Merlin, in order to
eliminate him and to thus obtain 'their' university."
At the beginning of the next achool term the 2-year tacit postponement
granted the University of Paris VIII by the city of Paris will end. During
the university vacation~, Vincennes will thue have to be located in new
quartere that will be able to accommodate only half of the 32,000 stu-
, dents.
"But the co~unists are miscalculating," explained this same professor.
- "Of courae, Pierre Merlin officially says he is opposed to the move to
Saint-Denie. But if he finally changed his mind2 In that case it would
_ be to his advantage to allow the agitation to continue. In order to
'clean up' later."
As'for his career, another faculty member observed that Merlin now has
_ everything that he wanted, after having been appointed head of Paria VIII: -
he in fact has obtained "the urban sectior~ toward which he has been
climbing since 1969."
- This past Wednesday calm returned to Vincennes--a precazious calm as
_ shown by this scene: a young blond man in a navy blue parka distributed
some leaflets at the entrance to one of the buildings. A student from

North Afriea appeared and refused the le~flet.
"Imbecilel" the young leftist blurted out. "It is for you, for the foreign-
era, that we are fighting!"
The two atudents came to blows. So, in this climate, the agitation could
eaeily atart up again--eepecially aince the council has aupported two
_ decieione that were challenged by the leftiste: the chargea against
aeven foreign studente who were registered as a reault of false documents
and the authorization given to the police to enter the campus to combat
the trafficking of drugs.
"We accept neither the one nor the other," say the leaflets and pennants.
